Job Description

We are seeking an experienced Machinist Levels 2, 3, and 4 to join a precision manufacturing and machine shop environment. This is a full-time, non-exempt opportunity for a highly skilled machinist with extensive experience operating, setting up, programming, and inspecting parts produced on CNC and manual machining equipment. The ideal candidate will be comfortable working independently, reading complex engineering drawings, and maintaining demanding quality standards.

This is a senior-level machining opportunity for someone who can do more than simply operate a machine. You'll be expected to handle advanced setups, edit and write CNC programs, run multiple machines simultaneously, inspect your own work, and support final inspection when needed. You'll also have the opportunity to work directly with engineers, troubleshoot machining challenges, and help train less-experienced machinists.
